  • You have the perfect opportunity to reduce, reuse and recycle.
  • You finally find the DVD of that wonderful, obscure indy film you’ve been seeking for years, or the one book by your favorite author that you never got around to reading, or that perfectly functional little TV or radio you can put in the kitchen.
  • The church makes a little money — everybody wins — what’s not to love?

It’s still not too late to donate your unwanted media items, including books, CDs, DVDs, TVs, cameras, stereos, radios, media players of all sorts.  Bring them by the church on Friday (31 January 2014) between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

Questions?  Contact Kathy Osuch via email or phone (318-861-6729).
